smoke

[regalniz]

i just got new headers and mufflers installed yesterday. when i started it up, it blew dark smoke. it didnt smell like oil. however, i was wondering if the insides of new headers and mufflers burn whatever residue is left over from manufacturing. OR should i be concerned.

No need for concern, that is normal for new exhaust piping. There will always be some of the machine oil residue left on any new system, and one can usually smell what seems like burning oil, or as in your case, see some oil smoke. Have fun with your new headers!

just like a new grill it gotta be seasoned just right
